1: Dawson not keen on life in the big city and unhappy, will only remain at Spurs if no offers suitable to him come in.

2: There are 4 or 5 players who we cannot motivate no matter how hard we try. They have their minds more on their holidays. Having been identified, they will, I think, be moving on if we can arrange it.

The first comes from an SC'er who wishes to remain anonymous and has got in touch and provided some plausible background which we needn't really go into, I feel the gist will suffice. The second is from 'our' source. Please remember our policy on ITK and act accordingly.

Thank you

Daws' info is very surprising, but I hope this means we keep Kaboul if he leaves.

But seriously, 5 players who have their minds on the summer? Try the whole team!

In that case, expect to see 'Dawson in shock Yeovil switch' in tomorrow's Mail.

4 to 5 players? Care to name?

I would guess Dawson as one.

Jenas
Hudd
Lennon
Malbranque
Kaboul
KPB

4 or 5 of those lot would be my guess, but i hope its not JJ, think he would be a good squad player next season.

chrissivad, I would be almost certain that one of the '4 or 5' was Chimbonda

if they cant be motivated, and are only thinking about their hols, maybe they should donate, umm even a weeks!!, worth of wages to each of us so i dont have to watch their sulky asses turn out for my beloved Spurs, and then i could afford to go on holiday and forget about it all till next season??

Sounds a fair deal to me, anyone else agree??

Spoilt bunch of over paid whatsnames... And the england team can go swivel too, they've ruined our summer..

dont think its the Hudd, he showed great determination to lose the pounds, and has spoke recently of his determination to break into and keep his place in the team.

Robinson
Chimbo
The Hudd
Benty
Daws
Lee
TT
KPB possibly
Cerny

My guess is that bar KPB, they will ship out if possible.

I think Lennon has picked it up and proven that he is worthy/wants it...plus he might get his first proper full-pre-season in two years this summer. He'll stay methinks. As will JJ. Steed will be a squaddie methinks...I think Bent will go regardless, but not sure on him. The others I mentioned are, I think, pretty much nailed on. As for Younes, heard nothing but I don't think it's clear cut by any stretch, in fact I feel the guy might well stay the course. Hope so. But who knows there...

Cheers Goat (not a phrase I use in everyday parlance)

My guesses:
Chimbo
KPB
Lee
Lennon
Kaboul

Those based on who are not being picked plus Lennon whose been reported as being moody and Chimbo cos he's a dirty mercenary. Think it will be a mistake to lose Kaboul especially if Daws moves on.

Yeah, but it might not be enough as frankly, he hasn't been able to change and turn or even preserve games.

Oh, and add Adel to the list of departures IMHO...

Guess they're looking forward to 1) diet-free life 2) being able to spend their "hard earned" money 24 hours a day

True i just think The Hudd has shown with his performances, hes worth keeping and the coaching staff can work on parts of his game he lacks in. His passing ability is excellent, hes young and IMHO needs further coaching to improve his all round game, time is on his side. Carrick at first lacked in certain areas, but has with age progressed into the player we new he could be, even Redknapp said he was a frustrating player at Wetspam, and had progressed into the player he new he could be.

for sure they are some players in the team without motivation, and you can see why.

hopefully that will make it easier to move them on and bring in properly comitted players.

obvious candidates are:

Chimbonda
Lee
Rocha
Kaboul
